Hi all,I've accidentally ripped the USB socket off my Arduino micro. I have no chance to solder the connector back to the board as the tracks are damaged..

I am now trying to find an alternative way of programming it.

I've found this other thread that explains how to use another Arduino (in my case I have an Uno R3 I can use): http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,7571.0.html

It works well when I use this method to program an Arduino Pro Mini (the same that is being used in the above link).However, when I try to reproduce the method on the Arduino Micro, I get an "Uploading.." that takes forever.
